81 Schools Earn A+ in SQAAF — A Shift Toward Structured Quality in Education

81 Schools Earn A+ in SQAAF — A Shift Toward Structured Quality in Education

As reported by Hindustan Times, 81 schools across Pune district secured an A+ grade in the recent SQAAF evaluation — including 28 Zilla Parishad schools.

That number matters.

Out of 712 schools evaluated, 81 achieving the highest grade is not a coincidence. It reflects a deeper transformation:

- Structured self-assessment is being taken seriously
- Data-driven improvement plans are becoming institutional practice
- Governance, academics, and infrastructure are being aligned strategically
- Documentation is shifting from reactive compliance to proactive readiness

This is more than a result — it is evidence of a growing quality culture within schools.

SQAAF, when implemented sincerely, is not an inspection checklist. It is a systems framework. Schools that embed it into leadership processes, teacher training, monitoring, and evidence management are clearly seeing measurable outcomes.

The real leadership question now is:

Are we preparing for evaluation cycles —
or building systems that make excellence inevitable?

Congratulations to all 81 institutions that have demonstrated what structured, sustained improvement can achieve.
